Star stitch tutorial

2 purses

1, 2 purses stand before you
That's what I said now
Purses, purses who... adore... you?

Socks?

Just last week, literally last week, I told a stitching friend that socks intimidate me.   Not the wearing, although given a choice I'd only ever wear sandals and leave my toes free, just the making.  And not because of the difficulty but because I'm a slow enough knitter and it's encouraging for me to see progress on my projects.

Then I went to a yarn fire sale (yarn never goes on sale, and this was just crazy) and came home with supplies enough for several upcoming projects, and sock yarn.  Pretty purple sock yarn. 

So I'm gonna try it, and what's more, try knitting two socks on circular needles instead of double-pointed.

(not this time, but for future - knitting one sock inside the other.)

The problem with knowing how to knit but knitting incredibly slowly is that the project list can now grow from both knitting and crocheting inspirations, but with knitting I don't seem to make progress within a project, let alone on the list.  It's ok.  I just need another 100 reps and I'll have it down pat. 

Dragon wing cowl

Knit Dragon Wing Cowl -- add it to the list. For once I finish up at least one project (the downside of knitting as opposed to crochet is that once you have a project going, you have to finish it -- there's no using the needles for another project in the meantime the way you can a crochet hook). And once I learn to read knitting patterns.

shawlette - future project?

Thanks to Colleen for the find.

Yes, I realize it's a kid activity, but I'm doing it anyways!

Rawrr!

Steggy got yarnbombed at Cranbrook Institute of Science, in Bloomfield Hills Michigan. Mom used to work there and we always visited, every time we went to Detroit.

To add to my project list: Dino hat, with spikes, with this as the base hat.

Or maybe this Steggy hat?

Even though I haven't opened my yarn bag in weeks...

...somehow I keep accumulating projects. But these are so nifty! And Halloween is coming!

Halloween Top Hat, which I think I would probably do in royal purple with a baby blue band and some peacock feathers.

Who is that caped crusader?

Crocheted Masked Hero Set. Halloween is coming up, after all.

Add it to the list.

I suspect if it weren't faire season, this Renaissance capelet wouldn't even have caught my eye. But it is, and it did.

Mary Poppins says "Well begun is half done". Maybe I should work on my whistling and snapping? (12-Star Throw)

Red Heart 12-Star Throw


God has a sense of humor. I actually started this one, by which I mean I have two spokes of one square done so far. Then I set it aside because of another, more time-sensitive project, working out of the same yarn bag. And I managed to LOSE THIS PATTERN!

So I am throwing it onto the blog in hopes that redundancy in ways to find it will result it my actually making progress on it. Don't hold your breath.

Next crochet project? Add it to the list... Spring Fling pillow
